Project title:

The renewal of infrastructures in the Laval agglomeration.

Research question

Why and how will the agglomeration of Laval renew its infrastructures ?

Identify the local environmental/climate problem you want to investigate

Construction and development of the buildings for a sustainable development, in order to cope with frequent flooding, and at the request of Laval residents. There is already a renewal of infrastructures in the agglomeration of Laval because some infrastructures are old and not ecological. The center of the city has no green spaces. In response, the town hall has decided to create a city center and new infrastructures. The old infrastructures are being renovated. Other building projects are being developed.

Project topic

Cities

Describe how you plan to investigate the problem identified and which data you plan to analyse.

To identify the problem, we are going to see on the spots, go to the city hall, to the agglomeration of Laval, to the Conservatory, to the « Espace Mayenne » and consult documents online or the archives of the city. We can also take measures, interview the inhabitants and the mayor. The cititzens can give us information, tell us the problems they meet or what they think works. We plan to look for information on the internet or perhaps even ask questions to the city hall or to the mayor. We are also going to study how the buildings are built and maybe if they can be sustainable or economical.
